The truth is it hurts like hell missing the ghost of who someone used to be.
You used to answer texts so quickly I never questioned it.
You used to blow up my phone and newsfeed.
God & Man
Your name was always my favorite to see.
Your compliments were always genuine and sometimes I wondered if you noticed me blushing.
You used to invite me places and always be on time.
God & Man
You used to be every text in the morning and my favorite way to start a day.
I knew in those moments to be grateful.
Something in me could feel this would end.
You used to meet me completely halfway that I never had to try.
You used to love me.
Then suddenly there was a shift.
You stopped saying thank you and started expecting things.
You stopped answering quickly then it turned into not at all.
I sat there fumbling to find words in hopes youd respond.
And I look back at the past hoping maybe Ill find something there.
A reason for ashift or a change.
Sometimes I wonder if Ive begun to annoy you.
You used to tell me everything.
These days it feels like Im missing something.
Like Im out of the loop.
So I try a little too hard and overcompensate hoping maybe you notice.
I dress up a little more hoping to feel a little less invisible.
Im tiptoeing and walking on eggshells because I dont want to say or do the wrong thing.
But it almost feels like no matter what move I make itll always be something that makes you unhappy.
You used to care and I dont know how to get back to that place.
All I can do is hold onto a hope thats fading.
And maybe when you find yourself again, itll be there you find your way to me again.
